But, I'm getting sick of it.
Stepped away from a job in late April because it was too muddy to get to one specific point without a hovercraft. Finally, drove in on Thursday and got'er done. Got rained on before we left the site. Nearly four inches of rain on Friday plus a tornado sighted within 3 miles of three current jobs. Daily rain predictions through Wednesday are in the 60-70 percent range.
What adds to my surveying frustration is my farming frustration. Every acre of cropland I owns needs to have wheat or oats harvested within the next three weeks plus a few hundred acres of hay land needs to be mowed, raked, baled and moved ASAP. Ideally we would plant soybeans back on about half of the cropland. Odds get worse every day of rain delay.
I've been watching the wheat down here. There's a mess of it that needs cutting, but a lot of places are just too wet to get the equipment in there. I've noticed a lot of alfalfa that is looking like it's in the same shape. Not a good thing for some folks.
I was hoping it would dry out and last week it looked like it was headed that way. Now for the last two days we've been getting these slow moving t-storms that just sit and dump a butt-load of rain.
Time to build the ark...
Cubits? What's the conversion ratio from smoots to cubits?
We've got a 25 acre alfalfa field that took 3 hitches to get it cut and up without getting wet. Haven't had the large amounts of rain here, but there have been very few 3 day stretches of dry or drying weather. Finally got 2 90 deg days in a row this week and got the last bit up. First cut needs cutting again.
Sprayed wheat with roundup yesterday to try to speed up that process. Going to bale straw and need it to all be dead.
Maybe
When the sun comes out afterwards I can really spew about being steam cooked in my boots.

International cubits or US survey cubits?
